Ali is a small-town girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and an uncertain future to follow her dreams to LA. After stumbling upon The Burlesque Lounge, a majestic but ailing theater that is home to an inspired musical revue, Ali lands a job as a cocktail waitress from Tess, the club's proprietor and headliner.

Burlesque's outrageous costumes and bold choreography enrapture the young ingenue, who vows to perform there one day. Soon enough, Ali builds a friendship with a featured dancer, finds an enemy in a troubled, jealous performer and garners the affection of Jack, a bartender and fellow musician. With the help of a sharp-witted stage manager and gender-bending host, Ali makes her way from the bar to the stage. Her spectacular voice restores The Burlesque Lounge to its former glory, though not before a charismatic entrepreneur arrives with an enticing proposal.

5Love it!

I love, love, love this film! The song's are catchy, the storyline is great. The cast are all excellent in their roles. You'll find yourself wanting to sing and dance along with the songs. It's a great film and you will definitely enjoy it!

5Welcome to Burlesque

I really don't understand how so many critics have given this fantastic film such bad reviews - it is seriously amazing. It's not like High School Musical or Glee where the cast start to spontaneously sing a song about whatever happens to be occurring at the time. Apart from the opening song by Christina, every other song that is sang is performed on stage at the Burlesque club as part of the show. The singing and music is fantastic and the entire film is visually stunning.

4Show Me How You Burlesque

To be honest, I adored this film though I did feel that it needed a bit of work. The acting was mediocre, especially from Cam Gigandet and Christina Aguilera. On the other hand, Cher, Eric Dane, Stanley Tucci and Kristen Bell were great. Cher, especially, blew me away. As a musician, she's a phenomenal actress and she's definitely underrated. As a musical, I loved it, and I watched it three times. The music was great - Christina was spectacular, though the acting - not so much. Overall, it's great.
